Copyright Protection of Student Work
Original work is automatically protected under copyright as soon as it is recorded in a tangible form. Senior projects do not have to be registered through the U.S. Copyright Office for their work to be protected by copyright. For more information, please visit the US Copyright website.
If you wish to further clarify the rights of reuse of your intellectual property, you may consider utilizing a CreativeCommons license, which is a free legal tool that helps authors easily indicate the allowed uses they want their work to carry.

Use of Original Work not created by the Student
Students need to secure copyright permissions from the original copyright owner if the senior project contains third party content (including but limited to images, large quantities of journal or book content, tables and figures, music and other accompanying material).
